An online course and six months of 1-to-1 coaching to help you build and submit a strong business visa application.
Join My French Business Visa: 5 x €339
Pay in 5 monthly instalments. 30-day refund policy.
The ideal timescale is about 6 months before your moving date.
You've spent hours online and your head is spinning. Which visa is right for you? What does the French Embassy expect in your file? How much savings do you need? What is a realistic moving date? And which information can you trust, now that AI answers all sound so confident?
Meanwhile you're working or looking after your family, and the project stalls.
A business visa is harder to get than a simple long-stay visitor visa. You need to convince the French Embassy and DREETS that your project is viable, even if you have savings. You don't need more random information. You need a clear plan, templates that work and someone checking your progress.
A course and coaching programme built for one job: preparing and submitting a business visa application for France. You'll go from feeling lost to being confident about your visa, your project and your business setup, with a moving date and a strategy for both your visa and your future business.
Every week you get practical steps to take. Every few weeks we meet on Zoom to review your progress and clear roadblocks.
Find and test your business idea with the workbook and a list of 100 ideas from expats running businesses in France.
Use a simple visa-focused template and strong cover letter. Cover your market, ideal customer, services and strategy.
Work through the 2026 financial plan template, plus savings and PO box guidance.
Follow the how-to videos and documents checklist for DREETS validation, the France Visa application form and your TLS appointment.
I've just received my visa and am so grateful for Valerie and her course!
